   What program are you using that is using slang?  For example, both
jed and slrn support the --version command-line argument.  If your
program uses the interpreter, then you can get the slang version from
the interpreter via the _slang_version and _slang_version_string
variables.  If you are a developer using the slang library, then use
SLang_Version variable defined in slang.h.

Yes, changes.txt.  It is distributed as part of the slang
distribution, or you can get it from the ftp site, e.g.,

    ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slang/v1.4/changes.txt
